The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River extends over 38 kilometers, between the falls, upper and the mouth of the Lamar River. It reaches a depth of 60 to 245 meters and a width of 300 to 1,400 meters. In the upper part, where the throat is deepest and narrower, rocky walls offer beautiful tones ranging from yellow to orange and red brown.

Fine rock needles from erosion flow, isolated, depths, and sometimes a white vapor escapes from hot springs and geysers located at the bottom of the canyon. At the bottom, the Yellowstone River appears to be quiet. In fact, it mutates into rapids which, twice, rush into the depths of huge waterfalls: to the south, at the beginning of the canyon, the Upper Falls (33 meters high), and about 900 meters downstream the Lower Falls or Great Falls (94 meters high).

Artist Point offers an impressive view of the Upper waterfalls and Lower Falls. Panoramic path along the edge of the canyon directly. Of Canyon Village, Canyon Rim Scenic Road wins the north wall of Grand Canyon with several beautiful viewpoints including Lookout Point, from where a path to the foot of the canyon, and by a junction, Inspiration Point, from where you have a splendid view of the latter.
